Chiropractic Manipulation Benefits the Hurting Spine

May 02, 2017

The spine loves spinal manipulation! It undoubtedly is thankful for what spinal manipulation feels like and rewards its owner with relief of back pain and relaxation. When you take your Ashburn and Herndon spine to Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn treats it gently, safely and effectively. The Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic treatment plan integrates relieving, research-proven spinal manipulation.

Stops Painful Messages 

Spinal manipulation stops back pain’s messages to the body that it hurts. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn understands that our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic back pain patients want to stop the hurt. Spinal manipulation has an anti-nociceptive - anti-pain - effect on back pain. Spinal manipulation reduces back pain by interfering with the pain messages formed by irritated spinal nerves. In one specific study, spinal manipulation more effectively slowed pain messages than did mechanical stimulus (no significant effect) or tactile sensation (no effect). (1) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn employs Ashburn and Herndon spinal manipulation to discontinue the spinal disc irritation.

Improving Water Content 

The intervertebral disc of the spine depends on its water content to be healthy and not easily bothered by pain, keep its height and do its job of providing spinal mobility and being the shock-absorber in the middle of the spinal vertebral bones! That may simplify the disc’s role a bit, but the spinal disc is essential to spinal movement and key to back pain relief. It’s the most pain-sensitive structure in the spine! (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn takes care of the disc and the spine. When compression or exercise exertion taxes the spine, it responds. How? T2 MRI images show decreased value meaning that water content is low in the facet joints and the nucleus pulposus. (3) That’s why it’s so important to stay hydrated, drink water, and treat the disc to Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic care!

Disc Height Increases 

Lumbar spinal discs do react to Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height enlarges with traction. (4) That’s what happens with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn offers and is proficient in delivering. With Cox Technic, disc height increases by 17%, and spinal area opens by 28%. (5) When discs degenerate, they lose disc height. Spinal area diminishes. Spinal nerves are irritated more easily. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn’s Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic care helps diminish that irritation and the associated Ashburn and Herndon back pain.

Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn uses spinal manipulation to reduce back pain. Together with spinal manipulation, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn recommends nutritional advice about supplements with glycosaminoglycan elements glucosamine and chondroitin – both linked to the sulfate radical which draws in fluid. It’s all incorporated into your Ashburn and Herndon treatment plan.
